Surely these 2 Aston Villa players need to start vs Bolton later

Aston Villa fans here in the Tavern are looking to get their promotion bid back on track in today’s fixture, after suffering a demoralising defeat against Queens Park Rangers last time out.

The Villains were looking to challenge for automatic promotion to the Premier League, though failed to make the most of their promising position after falling to defeat against QPR on Tuesday. Indeed, Steve Bruce will now be relying on other teams to help them out in the race for an automatic promotion place, as Cardiff City now have a seven-point cushion.

Although, the game later today is of great importance to the Villains with anything less than a victory being a disaster, so Steve Bruce will have some key decisions to make ahead of kick-off.
